Calibre may not be able to convert it but the From KFX plugin should be able to - the message is quite specific: For best results use either the From KFX user interface plugin or the KFX Input Plugin CLI for conversion. See the KFX Input Plugin documentation for more information.
It is likely because calibre doesn’t support fixed layout conversion. The From KFX plugin bypasses the calibre conversion stage. Last edited by Martinoptic; 07-17-2024 at 11:12 AM. Reason: Better explanation-I hope |

The issue has to do with books that use a fixed-layout, such as comics, manga, and print replica. Calibre's conversion system is designed for books that use reflowable layout. Using it on a fixed-layout book can mess with the book's formatting. For those books it is better to use either "From KFX" or the KFX Input CLI for conversion since those avoid the calibre conversion pipeline. If you decide to ignore this advice you can select the KFX Input conversion option to "Allow conversion to complete even if errors are detected". For image based books such as comics/manga conversion to CBZ or PDF is generally superior to EPUB as an output format since those are well supported by many reading apps. An EPUB produced from a Kindle comic/manga will contain a lot of proprietary Amazon-specific formatting internally and may not render properly in a non-Amazon reading app. |

Understood about CBZ. Though my main concern is simply being able to extact the images themselves in the order they appear. |

Oof. I found From KFX. You have to add it to the toolbar manually. Now it works perfectly. Thanks!

Though I have another issue. I have an uncompressed KFX file. Everything looks great, except the cover. For some reason the cover is a compressed jpg instead of an uncompressed png like everything else. I'm not sure if it's due to Calibre, the plugin, or what.

Is it possible to use this plugin standalone in Python, without Calibre?
python kfx_input.py Traceback (most recent call last): File "C:\Users\codrut\KFX_Input\kfx_input.py", line 6, in <module> from calibre.gui2.convert import Widget ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'calibre' that's because of: from PyQt5 import (QtCore, QtWidgets) from calibre.gui2.convert import Widget |

There are a number of dependencies that are fulfilled by using calibre as the platform for running the plugin. It would be possible to change the plugin so that it could be run without calibre but doing that would increase the effort needed to support it so I have chosen to rely on calibre being present. |
